If it's been confirmed in the db, of course, no question about it πŸ‘Œ
But if it hasn't -or- the infamous 'partial' confirmation πŸ˜„ like for steamdeck, but not desktop.
Then you get into glorious eggroll and launch commands + gpu settings
Or even better, not a steam game, and has its own launcher, like Star Citizen
Or it's on steam, but the launcher kills it, so you've got to get it to launch without the launcher, like Kerbal 2...
But that's cool about nobara, haven't encountered that before. I've worked with opensuse and Mandrake (as rh), but never vanilla fedora or offshoots

My hot take on gaming with Linux:
It's all about getting the title to *run* ... everything beyond that is just icing on top πŸ˜„
Think about it, depending on the title, you spend 70% of the time getting it to run and 20% actually playing (the last 10% go to keeping it running πŸ˜„)
Am I wrong??
*though I really really wish I could get the thrustmaster hotas to work....

I did a survey on #mastodon a couple of days ago, asking what the longest you ever had a single linux distro (as a daily driver) running w/o switching, re-installing, etc.
The results surprised me - especially now, since I just did a fresh install of my laptop and really appreciate the opportunity (provided I have the time) to re-explore old apps, maybe try new ones, discover new features or changes that I had previously been oblivous to AND to install/setup certain things the 'right' way after having gained more insight and experience.
It's incredibly easy to setup a new Linux instance nowadays - and is very rewarding!!

Saw a post this morning about fads that disappeared and nobody really knows why.
One of them was about PokΓ©mon go (admitting that some people still play), but the comment below rang so true πŸ˜„

So, I hear some Linux distros are now adding telemetry in, like Fedora. Be careful out there everyone.

Yea, but it's just an optional telemetry - some mainstream distros (like Ubuntu) have had it for years. I've had a machine running a variant of Ubuntu (tuxedo OS) for a while & have portmaster running in the background (from Sapian πŸ‘Œ) and have opted out - there's *nothing* being transmitted.
All the same, thanks for the heads up πŸ‘ŒπŸ’šπŸ§

Then its an update so people know that a few more have added it. I have been blocking telemetry and opt out in my VMs as well. I've not heard of portmaster so I'll look into it. πŸ‘

It's an agricultural zone in the US based on climate. Lower the number the colder it gets.

Lol, we like our kraut. Zone 5 is a permaculture term for uncultivated nature. It's where you go for recreation, observation and inspiration.

Oh damn, ok that's extra odd then.

Why was it just 'ok'?

If I recall correctly, it was mainly my own fault
I hadn't really separated myself from Google services completely yet and hadn't yet made the hard commitment to data ownership & Co. that I later had made.
Beyond that, none of the functions or processes felt particularly smooth or polished and basic tasks were more laborious.
Now that I've come along enough to meet halfway πŸ˜„it'd probably be a much better experience
